Smeared Ink Monthly Blog Hop

Behold! 

My Altered project for the Monthly DT hop for

Smeared Ink.

My husband always asks me, "Why are you saving this?".

And I always tell him, "I'll know when the time is right."

After ruining my original DT project in the eleventh hour, I remembered that

I had saved this box that was perfect for altering.

The little box is an insert that fits inside of the larger box, but I didn't get

quite that far.

After a coat of black gesso, and a coat of metallic black acrylic paint,

this little box was starting to take shape.

I chose to use the Circus Procession set for this project.

I played around with this finger die cut from TH. I used some Distress Paints,

which I overheated, to create the corroded look. 

Had to add the diver. So vintage and fun.

I used the pinwheel image with a brad in the center of the cool spiral.

I also added the verbiage from the set using Gimp.  

I used my favorite crackle effect on the scroll and wave that are also

included in this awesome digi set.

That's it for me, for now.

I do plan to finish the box, but I haven't been to sleep yet, 

so I'll have to save the rest for another time.

Please join us for the hop.

Here is blogroll for your hopping convenience.
